🌵 About the Workshop

Join us for the first TierrArte workshop of the Power Building in the Sunbelt series, an intergenerational arts-based experience exploring Sunbelt Apartheid, the deep relationship between land, history, and environmental justice in Phoenix.

This session, “Spatial Expansion in the Sunbelt,” will trace the Indigenous origins and movements of the Southwest, the annexation of South Phoenix, and how processes of land and infrastructure expansion shaped the environmental and social landscape we live in today.

This workshop combines storytelling, creative art-making, and environmental education to illuminate how place, policy, and people intersect in the ongoing struggle for climate and environmental justice.

🎨 What to Expect

• Interactive activities linking history, geography, and art.

• Place-based learning rooted in the Sunbelt.

• Community dialogue about environmental disparities and future resilience.

• A creative reflection and embodied sensory expression session.

• Light snacks provided.

This workshop is part of the TierrArte: Intergenerational, Arts-Based Power Building in the Sunbelt series—co-created by AZ(LAND), ASU, Rising Youth Theatre, SciDance, and CAP-LTER—to foster community dialogue, intergenerational learning, and climate resilience through creative expression.
